3ED27DQXFW00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

The Sears man came out and told me it was the thermostat that needed to be replaced and it would cost $321 plus tax. I went on youtube and watched the Partselect video several times and decided to order the part after seeing how easy it was to install. Total cost $65. I put the laptop on the counter and watched it as I installed it. It helped that I could go back and watch a certain part if there was a problem. But I had no problems and installed it in 20 minutes. Very, very simple to do. Of course I had to pay $75 to the Sears man but I saved about $200 . Thanks Partselect.

The fix was easy. I jacked up the unit and put on blocks. I used socket and ratchet removed the wheels. Reinstall new ones and let off the blocks.

The hardest part was figuring out how to get the front panel escutcheon panel off. With the putty knife under the bottom flange, you need to push down with some effort on the part of the flange where the drip pan slides in and twist the putty knife to disengage the locking tab. Once the panel is off, the rest of the job is easy with the aid of your video. Everything works like new...thanks.

I watched the video a few times and pretty much did as it said to do. Took about 20 minutes start to finish. It seems to be working 100%.

Using a pair of pliers position the nose perpendicular to the inner wall of the ref and grip tight on the flat part of the support stud and twist counterclockwise until it become loose. Once loosened pull the support stud outward until it clears the the hole. Installation: Slide the support stud in and twist it hand tight. Using a vise grip and locking the jaw just tight enough to hold it firm on the flat parallel edges twist them (one at time) clockwise until it feels tight the tongues are parallel to to be able to slide the shelf support.

I took ice bin apart to ensure what part I needed. Got Serial # & Model # from inside fridge. Online search for Whirlpool Parts to check out prices. Settled on PartSelect for best price. Quick service too!!! Before putting it all back together, I reviewed the video. It was pretty good. Just left it up & after each couple of steps, I'd look at what was next. Went together with no problem. There could have been more details given, like ensuring that certain things lined up during reassembly. There was dead time when the narrator could have given pointers.

I shut the unit off for about ten hours and when I turned it back on and set the temperatures for the freezer and refrigerator it has been working great.I will keep the part in case it happens again.

watched the installation video twice and took my time to make sure all parts were put back together in the right order
